First Chess Moves

The best first chess moves for White are: 1.e4, 1.d4, 1.Nf3, 1.c4. Forget the rest, they are dubious. Don't waste your time with rubbish moves.

You can see in the image above the most common opening moves. I suggest you play first move 1.d4 because this way you can play a quiet positional game most of the time and have a slight long-lasting advantage if you play correctly.

The second advantage is that you cut your workload into half because you don't have to learn e4 opening lines like the Sicilian Defence, the French, The Pirc, the Ruy Lopez, the Caro Kann etc.

Foot Steps of GM Lalic

I follow the "foot steps" of the professional Chess Grandmaster Bogdan Lalic (CROATIA) who will give you a good impression about the life as a professional chess player. He travels to different countries in Europe and plays chess for a living. You will see his favorite chess openings, chess strategies and you can look behind the scenes of his chess life.

Learn Chess Openings

If you keep playing then you will improve eventually, but playing chess alone is not enough you must study opening theory and chess strategy to learn to make sound positional chess moves or you will not progress further. It is important that you learn some good chess openings to make the best opening moves right from the start. This will improve your winning chances considerably.
